Hale Telescope

The Hale Telescope, located at the Palomar Observatory in California, is one of the world's largest optical telescopes. Completed in 1948, it features a 200-inch (5.1-meter) diameter mirror, allowing it to capture detailed images of celestial objects. Named after astronomer George Ellery Hale, this telescope has contributed significantly to our understanding of the universe, including discoveries about galaxies, stars, and planets. Its powerful capabilities have made it a key instrument in astronomical research, helping scientists explore the cosmos and deepen our knowledge of the fundamental workings of space.
